[CLBS] FW: JOB LOSSES AND/OR REDUCTION IN PAY

[Patrick Geile]

>From Kathleen McCallister's office:

In light of recent events, the Trustee and her staff would like to communicate what measures are being discussed to help assist those in need.
We will be working with individuals on a case by case basis to assess any requests made. However, in order to better assist our office and avoid prolonging the process, please be sure to provide us with as much documentation as you are able to help support the request being made. IE: paycheck stubs showing a reduction in pay or a correspondence from the employer advising of the job loss or reduction in hours, etc. We will need to know if unemployment will be covering any of reduction/loss in pay. The unemployment offices are getting inundated with requests, so we know that there will likely be a delay there as well.
We will do our best to review all requests in a timely fashion, but please be aware that our office may have reduced staffing as we also need to take time off and/or work reduced hours.

Please keep in mind that if the monthly mortgage payments are to be paid through the plan, those will still need to be paid.

We will do whatever we can to help in these strange times, pursuant to the terms of the confirmed plan.

For those cases that are unconfirmed, we will not pursue dismissal if the months of March and/or April are missed and will be amenable to solutions helping the debtor(s) with repaying any missed months over the remaining term of the plan.

We appreciate that this is a stressful and unprecedented time for all; it remains our hope that we are able to do whatever we can to make things easier both for yourselves and your clients effected by this pandemic.
